Capital Hotel is a small 5-star hotel in London, England. It is located at 22-24 Basil Street, Knightsbridge, and is known to have been visited by The Queen.
It was established by David Levin in April 1971 who still owns and operates it today.
The Capital Hotel is a small townhouse hotel and its rooms are individually designed with original works of art. It features the work of designers such as Nina Campbell and David Linley.
The hotel has eight suites, designed using materials from the Ralph Lauren collection. The mattresses are handmade and the sheets are Egyptian cotton.
In 1974 the hotel's restaurant, The Capital Restaurant, was one of the first three hotel restaurants in London to achieve a Michelin Star under chefs Richard Shepherd and Brian Turner. In 2001 it earned a second star under Éric Chavot. Other notable chefs who have worked there include Gary Rhodes and Paul Merrett. The restaurant lost its stars after Chavot's departure in 2009. Wines served in the restaurant included those from the proprietor's eponymous winery in the Loire Valley in France.
By 2013, the hotel's restaurant had been replaced by a new restaurant, Outlaw's, named for its chef, Nathan Outlaw.
